I see this will block calls. I haven't found a good call blocker that will block calls I set to block and use a different ringer for calls not in my contact list. I used to have one in my our Palm days. Any recommendation or will tasker do the trick.

I am not even smart enough to understand the language you guys are using here let alone what is the purpose of this app. Maybe it is too early for me to understand what I am reading but, I am guessing I am in the wrong league here. Some kind of soft-programming? Bye guys.

Per the Tasker Wiki Blocking Calls section, there are instructions there that "will setup Tasker to screen incoming calls. Those that aren't in my favorites list, will get one ring before they are shuttled off to my voicemail." Not sure if there is a way to supress that one ring or not, maybe more experienced folks can comment.

I've eyed this up for quite some time. I have tried all of the others and I know this one is what I want...but for the 5 or 6 things I wanted, $6.50 was too steep. However, for $2, I'm in!!!

I'm a programmer myself, so look for some very complex tasks in the future! The first I have to have is simple:Turn apps (directions/maps app & Spotify) when bluetooth is paired with my head unit

I purchased this but after playing for 2 days with it cannot find anything useful to get it working. I know it will take me some more time and i am ok with that. What are some useful tricks you guys have done with this?

The only thing I have found was this one from the wiki. It turns wifi on when I'm in my house and turns it off when I leave.

Llama is a bit easier to use because it already comes with predefined profiles, settings and tasks. Tasker basically comes with a blank page and you need spend some time to learn the groove. I've been using Tasker for 2 days also and its seems very powerful and overwhelming with a lot of plugins.

Here are some ideas for some simple tasks that both Llama and Tasker will do easily:

- when Google Map is opened, auto turn on GPS / when Google Map is closed or in background, auto turn off GPS- auto turn-ON WiFi when specified app is open / auto turn-OFF WiFi when specified app is background or closed. This works great when WiFi is set to OFF at night and you want to take a quick peak at email or browser without having to manually turn back WiFi on and off.- at specified time period, ie 10 pm - 6 am, turn WiFi off - works great with above- at specified time period, turn WiFi on- at home (or specified location), turn WiFi On, set ring volume to 5, set display brightness etc... / upon leaving home, turn WiFi Off, set ring volume to max and vibrate, display brightness to 50, etc...

Some of those can be lumped together into one profile but Llama and Tasker do it differently with the same outcome. I've used Llama for a while so setting up basic profiles and tasks in Tasker isn't too hard.

Tasker has tons of information online, including its own wiki and Google forum. As usual, I look to XDA forums for answers. There are a lot of them (just search "tasker XDA on Google)but here's just one example on XDA

- go to silent mode at work, doctors office, hospital; set back to normal when leaving those areas- send WakeOnLan packet to your home PC when you get up in the morning, or come home from work [use a third party app to send the WoL packet]- start a particular app when the headphone jack in plugged in [examples in the wiki]- GPS on with Navigation on- turn BlueTooth on when a particular app starts (I use this for Torque)

For just turning on WI FI in certain areas and turning it off elsewhere, the app "Smart WIFI Toggler" works magically! It's so easy to do that at first, I didn't even think it was working.

All I had to do was install and enable it, then turn on the wifi when I was home once or maybe twice and ever since then, it just magically turns it on itself when I get home and off when I leave.

And it's free, which, as a Fatwallet user, appeals to me.

FYI, you can make your own APK file with Tasker App factory and then transfer it to other phones and install it without having tasker.
